HGV is the most researched, best-optimized, and purest plant nutrition formula in the industry—precisely formulated to maximize yield and grower profitability. Founded by Ron Goldman, our mission is to provide professional growers with the highest-quality, most consistent plant nutrients available.
HGV is built for commercial growers who demand more from their plants — more aroma, more flavor, and higher yields at scale. Blended entirely in our own facility for unmatched quality and consistency, our formulas deliver clean, reliable nutrition that drives terpene production and maximizes genetic potential.
HGV Dry is the foundation of the HGV nutrition system — a trusted product relied on by commercial growers for years to deliver uncompromising quality and top-tier yields. Developed for efficiency and performance, these dry formulas meet the demands of large cultivation environments while keeping input costs low. HGV Dry also offers the added benefit of reduced shipping costs compared to the liquid format. Whether you use HGV in dry or liquid form, it consistently delivers high-quality results without compromise.
HGV Liquid is the latest evolution of HGV, designed for growers who want the convenience of a liquid nutrient without compromising the quality and yield potential HGV is known for. It features the exact same formula as our Dry line — just in a pre-mixed, liquid form. The Liquid line makes it easier than ever to feed plants with precision—whether you're a home grower or managing a large commercial facility. HGV Liquid delivers plug-and-play simplicity: pure performance, no shortcuts.
The HGV Condition Line includes four products: pH Up and pH Down for precise pH control, HGV Level to stabilize pH, strengthen plants, and improve stress resistance, and HGV Clear to maintain clean irrigation systems and healthy root zones. All are optimized for compatibility with HGV to ensure consistent performance and maximum nutrient uptake.
The key difference with HGV fertilizers is ease of use. Unlike many fertilizer companies that separate elements into multiple bottles, often requiring complex mixing processes, HGV simplifies the process for our customers. We use a standard 2.5lb/gal concentration and bottle the fertilizers at a price slightly higher than the prorated cost of a bag.
For those who may be concerned about creating stock or concentrate solutions, we’ve already done the work for you. By converting our bagged formula into a ready-to-use concentrate, we remove the complexity of mixing, providing a more efficient and streamlined approach to nutrient management
Yes, the color change is typically due to certain trace elements in HGV reacting to moisture, which can occur if the product is stored improperly or exposed to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. This discoloration is purely cosmetic and does not affect the chemical composition, integrity, or effectiveness of the product. To prevent potential clumping or caking, it is recommended to dissolve the nutrients in water as soon as possible.
More often than not, what is mistaken for nitrogen toxicity is actually a calcium deficiency, potassium toxicity, or overwatering. The most reliable way to confirm toxicity is through laboratory tissue analysis. Additionally, we can perform a nutrient analysis to ensure that nitrogen levels are within the appropriate range for plant needs.
HGV contains higher sulfur levels compared to many competitors. The product’s labeling indicates the use of Magnesium Sulfate and Potassium Sulfate as key raw materials. At an EC of 3.0, typical sulfur levels in HGV are around 250 ppm
No. Genetics, environment, and proper handling, drying, and curing of the flowers have the most significant impact on terpene profiles and THC levels.
The purple coloration in plants is typically due to genetics or nutrient deficiencies. Anthocyanins, the compounds responsible for the vibrant purple hues in certain cannabis strains, are the primary cause of this coloration. A phosphorus deficiency can also result in purpling, but this differs from the coloration caused by anthocyanins. Factors such as reduced phosphorus levels in the nutrient solution and exposure to cold temperatures can contribute to a phosphorus deficiency.
No, the maturation time of healthy plants is determined solely by their genetics. While unhealthy plants may mature earlier due to stress, proper nutrition does not impact the natural maturation timeline.
Yes, shaking the bag is recommended. During transportation, the materials in HGV nutrients may settle, causing larger particles to rise to the surface while finer materials sink. Shaking the bag ensures even distribution of all particles. Alternatively, dissolving the entire bag into a liquid concentrate will create a homogeneous blend. For added convenience, especially when measuring in grams per gallon, you can place the nutrients in a 5-gallon bucket with a lid and shake or roll it around to help fully homogenize the salts.
